'I Speak Nine Languages, Your Grace,' Said the Maid — His Fiancée Laughed Until the Envoy Arrived

Devon, 1824. On the morning the Portuguese envoy arrives to sign a treaty that could save half the county, the proud Duke of Ivybridge finds his only interpreter at the bottom of the stairs with a broken leg. While his beautiful fiancée laughs at his panic, a housemaid on her knees with a polishing cloth looks up and says, "I speak nine languages, Your Grace." Lady Cecilia laughs harder, until the envoy steps out of his carriage, opens his arms to the maid, and calls her by a name the duke has hated for twelve years. Leonora Lacey is the daughter of the man blamed for the death of his beloved brother. She has come in secret to prove her father innocent. Now a smiling smuggler king, a jealous fiancée, a trusted secretary and a traitor at the envoy's side are racing to kill the treaty, poison the old count, and hang the maid for it. A burned prayer book, a letter in Greek, and a storm at sea will show the duke who his real enemies are. Can a proud man learn to trust the one voice he swore to hate? #DukeRomance #RegencyRomance #HistoricalRomanceAudiobook #DukeAndMaid #RegencyDrama #DevonRomance #RomanceAudioStory #FullRomanceAudiobook #LoveStoryNarration #CleanRomance #BrilliantHeroine duke romance audiobook, regency romance full story, duke and the maid romance, maid speaks nine languages, polyglot heroine romance, cruel fiance humiliated, regency treaty intrigue, devon historical romance, enemies to lovers duke romance, traitor's daughter romance, historical romance for sleep, full length romance audiobook, clean regency romance, humble heroine wins the duke, villain exposed at the ball, smuggler villain romance, poison plot romance story, regency era love story, period drama romance story, sweet clean love story, brave heroine historical romance, duke romance story narration, proud duke humbled, secret identity maid romance
